La Caravelle Wine

Listrac-Médoc

Bordeaux’ Listrac-Médoc is a terroir of great tradition which has belonged to the six prestigious communal appellations of the Médoc since 1957: Saint-Estèphe, Pauillac, Saint-Julien, Margaux, Moulis and Listrac-Médoc.

  • La Caravelle Listrac-Médoc, from old vines, is a blend of 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, and is aged in oak barrels for 12 months. This Cuvée is harvested, vinified, traditionally assembled, and results in a particularly fine and flavorful wine, showing a beautiful aromatic complexity. The terroir is composed of graves (gravel), clay and limestone. Eric Boissenot (named Most Influential Winemaking Consultant by thedrinkbusiness.com), the oenologist specialized in Grand Crus, is responsible for the La Caravelle blend.

  • This decidedly full wine shows a beautiful ruby color, quite deep although 2015 is not a year of high color wines. The nose is expressive of dark red/black fruit: blackcurrant, blackberries, slightly minty. The scent of wood, pronounced mocha is still quite present. On the palate, first comes a feel of medium body then it evolves with gentle, supple tannins, characteristic of this sunny vintage. Very pleasant ending notes of fruit and liquorice, as well as a beautiful long finish. While La Caravelle 2015 is quite enjoyable today, it will only keep perfecting when cellared 7 to 15 years.

  • La Caravelle Listrac-Médoc is only produced on the best years.

  • Available in 750ml
